Dr. Dre wants you to hear music the way the artists hear it in the studio. That's why he's teamed up with Monster to create Beats by Dr. Dre, a stylish pair of high-definition studio headphones designed to reproduce the deep bass, clear vocals, and fine details created by today's digital musicians. Combining extra-large drivers with a high-power digital amplifier, the Beats deliver a wide frequency response to accurately provide all of the detail in your music.

The Beats also use active noise isolation technology to help reduce the sounds of the outside world, allowing you to focus on the music. Powered by a pair of standard AAA batteries, the Beats are great for use on a plane, bus, or train. Plush around-ear cushions help to naturally reduce noise and provide breathable comfort so that you feel the music, not the headphones.

The headphones come complete with two detachable cables, one of which has an inline mic/control button for use with an iPhone. The cables use Monster's Quadripole construction to reduce signal loss for improved balance and clarity. The cables use gold-plated 3.5mm stereo mini plugs, allowing you to use the headphones with a huge variety of MP3 players, CD players, computers, and other devices.

Other useful features of the Beats include a mute button, allowing you to listen to your environment without removing the headphones. A rigid touring case is included, allowing you to neatly fold away the headphones for convenient storage. An ultra-soft cleaning cloth with AEGIS microbe shield controls germs on the ear cushions and keeps the headphones looking great.
